October 6, 2025

Texas megachurch founder Robert Morris has pleaded guilty to child sex abuse charges, exposing another disturbing case of predatory behavior hidden within religious leadership that betrayed the sacred trust families place in spiritual guides.

Story Overview

Robert Morris, founder of a Texas megachurch, pleaded guilty to child sex abuse charges
The abuse began in 1982 when the victim was only 12 years old
Morris was serving as a traveling evangelist when he committed the crimes
The case highlights ongoing concerns about accountability in religious institutions

Guilty Plea Confirms Decades-Old Abuse

Robert Morris entered a guilty plea to child sex abuse charges stemming from crimes committed over four decades ago. The Texas megachurch founder’s admission confirms allegations that have likely haunted his victim for years. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond’s office released details confirming the scope and timeline of Morris’s criminal conduct, bringing long-overdue justice to this case.

Abuse Started When Victim Was Just 12

The sexual abuse began in 1982 when Morris targeted a 12-year-old child while serving as a traveling evangelist. At the time, Morris was staying with the victim’s family in Hominy, Oklahoma, exploiting the hospitality and trust extended to him as a religious figure. This betrayal represents one of the most egregious violations of the sacred responsibility religious leaders hold when invited into family homes.

Pattern of Predatory Exploitation

Morris’s position as a traveling evangelist provided him access to vulnerable families who opened their homes in good faith. The case demonstrates how predators can exploit religious authority and community trust to access potential victims. For conservative families who prioritize faith-based values and protection of children, such betrayals strike at the heart of what makes religious communities sacred and safe.

Justice Finally Served After Four Decades

The guilty plea represents a significant step toward accountability, though it comes more than 40 years after the abuse began. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond’s office deserves recognition for pursuing this case and ensuring Morris faces consequences for his actions. This outcome provides validation for the victim’s courage in coming forward and serves as a reminder that no religious authority places anyone above the law.
